Protect Yourself From Tech Support Scams

Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. Additionally, some scammers may try to identify themselves as a Microsoft MVP.

Windows Update -

I've just received a Microsoft Security Update Releases notification email - the message in it is shown below. (I checked for WUs and there are none - I'm up-to-date.)

But the sentence in which I'm particularly interested is "This release is separate from the October Update Tuesday release, which is scheduled for October 8, 2019.". I find it strange that Microsoft should
tell us about a coming change that's in addition to other coming changes.

Can I assume that there are no outstanding WUs for me at the moment, please?
